3T3-L1 adipocytes express the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptor and respond to direct stimulation with the antigen by increasing the expression of inflammatory mediators. Activation of this receptor by its ligand in the macrophage causes the activation and translocation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) to the nucleus where it regulates the expression of proinflammatory cytokines and other target genes. We investigated whether LPS could stimulate NF-kappaB translocation in primary pig adipocytes and regulate the expression and secretion of TNF-alpha and IL-6. LPS clearly induced the nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB and also upregulated (P < 0.05) the mRNA expression and secretion of IL-6 into the culture medium. An induction of TNF-alpha expression by LPS was not detected, but with extended incubation (8 h), there was a modest increase (P < 0.09) in the media concentration of this cytokine. Inhibition of either ERK1/2, PKC, or the inhibitory G protein (Gi) with U-0126, bisindolylmaleimide HCl, and pertussis toxin, respectively, blocked (P < 0.05) the increase in IL-6 expression caused by LPS. Because LPS administration in vivo increases circulating concentrations of IFN-gamma, and because this cytokine also regulates multiple immune modulators in the adipocyte, we also determined whether IFN-gamma regulates cytokine expression in primary adipocytes. Although the expression of IL-6 and TNF-alpha was unresponsive to IFN-gamma, the expression of IL-15 was markedly upregulated (P < 0.01). Furthermore, the induction of IL-15 expression by IFN-gamma was blocked by inhibition of PKC. These data indicate that NF-kappaB is responsive to LPS in the adipocyte and also identify key mediators of LPS-induced IL-6 expression. In addition, we provide novel evidence that IFN-gamma targets the adipocyte to induce IL-15 expression, thus indicating a possible role for the adipocyte in the regulation of T-cell function and muscle metabolism during the innate immune response.
